Cheating on Your Paper

There are dozens of developmental theories. There are theories that believe developmental a child learn behavior and other theories believe children are subjects of their environment. There is an age-old debate, dating back to the earliest Greek philosophers, of whether knowledge is innate-that is we are born with it-or whether it is learned through experience (Cohen, 2011). There is no proven scientific way to determine if nature or nurture controls a child’s behavior and how they develop. The developmental theories that I lean toward the most are as a Piaget’s cognitive stages of development, Freud’s psychosexual development, and Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development. Piaget’s cognitive stages of development suggest that at each stage of a person’s life they learn a new skill and as they process in age their skills progress. He has identified four major stages; sensorimotor, preoperational, concrete operational, and formal operational. Sensorimotor occurs from birth to 2, at this stage the child is learning to use his or her hands, feet, and eyes. He or she learns to walk and crawl or use the bathroom. The next stage is preoperational occurs from 2-7, at this stage a child “engages in symbolic thought, but dominated by perception” (Perdue University , 2009). The third stage is concrete operational this occurs from ages 7 to 11. At this stage a child’s thoughts are more rational and logical. Children become less egocentric and better at conservation tasks. This means that the child understands that although the appearance of something changes, the thing itself does not (Mcleod, 2010). The final stage is formal operational occurs from age 11 to adulthood. At this stage the child is able to determine what the difference is between right and wrong. The child is starting establish concrete thinking skills. The child can perform operations on abstract concepts…...

...Cheating has always been looked down upon in society, but it still thrives in the classrooms of schools and universities. It doesn't seem to matter whether it is right or wrong, just as long as it gets you that A you were looking for. Cheating has grown over the past few years and the question is why? Who's to blame?
I know cheating occurs in Bacon Academy. I'll even be so honest to admit that I have participated in cheating once or twice in my high school career. Even so, I know it's not okay; and there are serious punishments if you are caught: there will be a zero on the assignment, and a suspension if you plagiarize. Ouch, cheating definitely doesn't sound worth the risk. So why do we do it? Cheating is done for multiple reasons. Sometimes it's done just to help out a friend. Your neighbor asks about a question during a test and you reply with the answer just to be courteous, nothing more than that. There's no deeper reason, other than maybe one day your neighbor will be able to return the favor. Another form of cheating is the "!%#&, I forgot to study for this test, but the smartest person in the room is sitting right next to me" reason. Some people figure there's no harm because they're going to do poorly anyway. But some people cheat because they're lazy or just don't care. All of these reasons don't make it okay to cheat, and its recurrence in school is an issue. Bacon has all types of cheating, and it can be blamed individually on the teachers, the students......

Knowing your Audience Paper and Communication Release
This paper will be in discussion of “Over 30 Workers Trapped After Chilean Copper Mine Collapse”, and how mass communications are needed in such disastrous situation and how their efforts to communicate should be handle. When confirming information to another company, business, organization, or a group of people it is of the imperative that an establishment knows their audience. Especially, if there’s info regarding fatalities or a disastrous event. The Chilean Copper Mine Collapsing was a very prodigal example of why audiences should be known. In August 2010, a trough in the Chilean Copper Mine cost 33 workers to be entombed at roughly 300 meters subversive. Quickly, rescue efforts were in progress, but did the company put forth effort of how to exploit info concerning the ordeal? Precisely, in such disastrous statuses, this company needed to take care in how the media relays their findings. If these are not done on a professional level, then the audience or even the world would or could rate this company at its worst ever. This should be known by immediate families of the workers first, other employees, and then a media publication was to be done, properly. Meaning, a representative, should already be in place for something if ever this matter. This individual should be chosen of the important. Then releases...

...The Biggest Cheaters of All
From teachers to students, coaches to players, politicians and everything in between, at one time or another a person has been exposed to, complicit in, or observed cheating. It surrounds the average person’s everyday life whether one is aware of it or not. But what about glorified organizations like the United Nations, are they capable of cheating? Surely, an organization created to ensure the peace and the stability of a planet could not possibly cheat. Well, such a belief would be incorrect. If a “biggest cheater” award had to be given out, it would be to these guys. The United Nations are the biggest cheaters of all.
To better illustrate how the United Nations ‘cheats’ it would be best to examine where the cheating starts, in the organizational structure of the United Nations, more specifically in the Security Council. The Security Council is composed of fifteen seats – five permanent and ten non-permanent seats. Every two years, the General Assembly elects countries to occupy the ten non-permanent seats. The five permanent seats belong to, the United States, the People’s Republic of China, the United Kingdom, Russia and France (“Membership in 2011”). Procedural decisions require nine votes out of the fifteen seats to pass. However, in substantive decisions, nine out of fifteen and all five permanent member seats are required. The determination of whether a decision is procedural or substantive is substantive (“United Nations”). Each......

...ACADEMIC DISHONESTY: ARE MORE STUDENTS CHEATING?
Dorothy L. R. Jones
Norfolk State University
ACADEMIC DISHONESTY, with Internet plagiarism as one of the most common forms, is a concern on college and university campuses more than ever before. A review of the literature validates these concerns. According to a 2003 nationwide research study of 23 public and private colleges and universities, conducted by Donald L. McCabe, Internet plagiarism is on the rise. Thirty-eight percent of the undergraduate students surveyed indicated that they had engaged in Internet plagiarism (as cited in Rimer, 2003). Brown, Weible, and Olmosk (2010) found that 49% of students in undergraduate marketing classes admitted cheating in 1988 versus 100% of the students in an undergraduate management class in 2008; a national survey published in Education Week found that 54% of the students surveyed admitted to Internet plagiarism and 76% admitted to cheating; and the Center for Academic Integrity found almost 80% of the college students surveyed admitted to cheating at least once (“Facts About Plagiarism,” 2011). In May 2006, Ohio University’s Department of Mechanical Engineering plagiarism scandal garnered national attention when a review panel found “rampant and flagrant” forms of plagiarism in 34 master’s theses (Grose, 2006); and in November 2010, more than 200 of the 600 students in a University of Central Florida business class confessed that they benefited from accessing online test......

GLIMPSE:
“Show Me Your Papers”
Early this week, the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the “show me your papers” provision of Arizona’s immigration law, which allows/requires police to check the status of people who might appear to be in the US illegally. This new development in the ongoing debate over immigration has sparked intense dialogue concerning the status of “illegal” immigrants in the U.S. Many who are proponents of this law, argue that their reasons are for the good and welfare of this country. Concerns of overcrowding in U.S schools, increase in population density in certain areas which may lead to an imbalance of natural resources, stress on the already stressed U.S. healthcare system with the uninsured and indigent population and some proponents have also implied the increase of certain diseases due to the majority of immigrants coming from areas where disease control and prevention isn’t as well controlled as some may believe it should be. The advocates on the other side of the spectrum base their beliefs in areas such as an open global market, with new opportunities in careers and education provides better opportunities and opens more doors for people of different countries to succeed. Cultural exchange is also a springboard for immigration. The belief that interchanging of ideas, knowledge and expertise can be a prosperous and provides economic growth for all parties concerned especially in today’s...

No one could have guessed that a small town in northern Chili would have become such a hot topic in the news in August 2010. After a cave-in occurred in the San Jose mine, the story went national and everyone was reading about the tragedy across the globe. Thirty three people had been trapped underground and a fairy tale happy ending did not seem probable. Rescue workers started drilling holes in the area to reach the group when four days later another cave-in happened and the rescue seemed almost impossible. The group of 33 had no water, no food and very little oxygen and at the time there wasn’t any knowledge of survivors. The fate of this group seemed nothing but doom for 17 long days. Then finally the first contact was made. The rescue team finally made connection with the group and found out amazing news that everyone was alive and well, with no injuries. A small path was created down to the area where they were trapped and food and water was provided for the duration of their entrapment. Fortunately, after two months the entire group of 33 were rescued and all in good health.
How was the media supposed to handle such horrid news? How were the families and loved ones going to be informed and what were the options of compensation for such a sudden traumatic event? People had so many inquiries of how long the timeline of the retrieval for the group was going to be. There were so many......

...Knowing Your Audience Paper and Communication Release
When a tragedy takes place news, information and misinformation travel rapidly in the surrounding areas near the crisis. Most of the times depending on the magnitude of the issue, word will quickly travel around a country and in certain cases the world. Word traveled quickly around the world when the San Jose mine collapsed in the Atacama region of Chile back on August 5, 2010 occurred. When communicating an incident like this you must realize feedback can differ from culture, religion, social class, ethnicity, or for many other reasons. It is crucial when sending a particular message to diverse audiences that one prepares all messages to correctly converse about each matter. Overwhelming news can be complex to convey because of the emotional connection that may be at hand. The sender must comprise enough relevant information so the receiver can process the particular situation, but the sender cannot add in pointless information as that may raise too much emotion or direct the receiver into fictitious promises or expectations. Each message the mining company sent out had to communicate the same basic information, Weik, J. (2010) over 30 miners were trapped, but this information was required to be constructed in a different way for each audience listening. Pragmatics, the use and language between specific parties, and semantics, the meaning behind words, are the key areas to focus on when delivering this information to...

Can you imagine how a group of miners came to rescue after spending 69 days underground with limited food, oxygen, and having very minimal light? Me either, but thirty three Chileans were trapped in a mine underneath the Chilean desert that collapsed before they were schedule to get their lunch break, and survived this tragedy. This tragic event occurred on August 05, 2012 at Copiapo, Chile. The miners went through starvation, having to tolerate the high temperatures of heat, and be in the dark for several days. The owners of the mine failed and have avoided and abandoned what needed to be done to maintain a safe and rescue plan. The rescue team made several holes around the mine as they started drilling; Mr. Urzua motivated the other thirty two miners not to give up. Fortunately, tears from family members of the miners of happiness knowing all the miners trapped were rescued alive.
Nobody is prepared when accidents like this occur until it actually happens. What is the owner going to tell the families? What is the owner going to tell his employees? In this paper I will discuss the consideration to remember given the different roles and people in the audience. One of the most important things to remember is to know how to relay the message to the survivor that was affected in this accident as well as the families. It is recommended not to go to the media and make any declarations. The person giving the......

...stop our students from cheating at the Universities in Florida. The University of Florida made test-taking just that, test-taking, not a social hour. Mr. Taylor Ellis, is an assistant dean that monitors the testing center, at the University of Central Florida, has said “It will never stop completely, but I will find out about it” if they try to cheat. (Ellis, 2010, p.1). Many of the students try to use different types of items to cheat, like a phone, camera, paper, pens, clothing, earpieces some even try to use tattoo’s. As you have also heard many students will write a paper and have the paper rewritten over the internet by someone else. This is just one way they cheat on writing assignments. Daines (2010, p2) stated that he was especially disturbed by an epidemic of students’ copying homework.
One of the services that are used to deter students from cheating is the Turnitin algorithm. "It's typically 30% of all the papers submitted have significant levels of plagiarism," said John Barrie, founder of Turnitin.com. (Barrie, April 29). Many of our colleges and universities use Turnitin.com to check if students have plagiarized their work. A couple of schools used this resource for future students entering the schools as well, to detect any plagiarism on their application. Do you believe that the software can be tricky, because many students feel it can be done? Over 61% have admitted to cheating in college and 36% have admitted to cheating in high school.

...CHEATING
Definition
Cheating is defined as the intentional act of breaking the rules, or attempting to achieve personal gain through fraud or deceit.16 To cheat is to deprive of something valuable by the use ofdeceit or fraud, to influence or lead by deceit, trick, or artifice, to practice fraud or trickery, to violate rules dishonestly, or to be sexually unfaithful.11 A cheater (sometimes called acheat) gets something by dishonesty or deception; or by depriving one of his or her rights and usually connotes deliberate perversion of the truth; or by large-scale cheating bymisrepresentation or abuse of confidence.11 Cheating is an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. Cheating implies the breaking of rules. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity.3 Cheating is when a person misleads, deceives, or acts dishonestly on purpose.17
Cheating fundamentally includes several elements of both lying and stealing, with specific motivations to gain something of value by illegitimate means. That is why lying and stealing are discussed before cheating. Cheating is lying and/or stealing with the intention for acquiring something for more than merely the "pleasure" of fooling or depriving others.
